Hello v1101,
Thanks so much for pointing this out and for bringing this to our attention.
According to the official AWS documentation, charges do apply for Elastic IP addresses, even when they’re attached to running EC2 instances, if certain conditions are met. Specifically, AWS allows one Elastic IP address per instance at no additional cost, but if you associate more than one Elastic IP with a single instance, or have unused (idle) IPs, you will be billed. The original explanation did not accurately reflect these details and gave the impression that all Elastic IPs attached to running instances are always free, which is not the case.
We’ll update the explanation to ensure it accurately represents AWS pricing practices and helps learners make informed cost-optimization decisions. If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Cheers,
